I just finished Scott Green's excellent letter regarding the Ray Rice story and the public's reaction to recently aired video of Mr. Rice striking his then-fiancée, Janay Palmer, in a hotel elevator ("What the Ravens should have done," Sept. 12). I do have two thoughts to add to the discussion. First, what new, substantive information did we learn from the most recently released elevator video (the one showing the punch)? The answer is none.

This show’s mythology can be overwhelming to follow, with several species of supes, shadow corporations and governments and of course, the constant flashbacks and shifting allegiances. So, it’s nice when we unexpectedly get to check in with a fan...

This week’s cold open is just cruel. At first, it appears that our Eric Northman is alive, holed up in a nice hotel in a Spanish-speaking country. But It becomes clear that it’s a dream as soon as Jason pops up, upset that Eric had to get so far away from...

The final season of "True Blood" is here, and after three seasons of definite misses, only the most devoted of fans (or those of us who feel a compulsion to complete things) are here. Let’s dive right in, since the show does.The Set-UpSick vampires are...

The sixth season of True Blood has come to a close, but was it the epic ending that fans were hoping for? Last night’s finale offered up death(s), new relationships and a new big bad — unfortunately, instead of feeling like a change in direction or return...

Who knew the characters of "True Blood" had such good taste in beer?
On last night's episode (the ninth of Season 6, titled "Life Matters"), Frederick's Flying Dog Brewery's Raging Bitch, a Belgian-style India pale...

Excepting the opening scene, "Life Matters" consisted of exactly two plot lines: The resolution of Billith's vision of the vampires meeting the sun and the vampires' subsequent takeover of vamp camp, and Terry Bellefleur's funeral.
This pared-down...

Like Pam's relations with her therapist, last night's "True Blood" was "oozy but productive" -- similar to the prior week's episode, "Dead Meat" was spent moving our characters into place for their inevitable finale showdowns.
While the writers...

I didn't get my wish for an hour of nonstop action. Instead, "In the Evening" was an evenly paced episode that was mostly well-spent setting up our central players, and their merging storylines, for the final three episodes of the season.
So much for...

Gone are the days when I gasped at least once per episode. Instead, I find...

We’re almost a third of the way through Season 6 (which at 10 episodes will be "True Blood’s" shortest season yet) and after last night’s episode, I’m finally getting a clear idea of where this season is headed. While You’re No Good was uneven and...

One of my biggest "True Blood" gripes is that the origin stories behind the series’ main players, which were introduced in the show’s earliest seasons, have largely been buried in later seasons in favor of sideline characters, dead-end plot twists and...
